No it just covers monitoring. Also checked the monthly payment again and it's actually €16 not €19 as I stated in my first post.
Thats why its so cheap. Is the alarm never serviced ?
According to the standards for monitoring of an alarm you need the system serviced to have garda response on a monitored alarm.
The reason I ask is if you get an alarm installed you will receive a EN50131 cert off the installer. A copy for you and a copy for your insurance company. If you send this in you will receive a discount of up to 30% depending on the insurance company you use for a monitored alarm. If after the first year you dont get the alarm serviced the alarm becomes a standard alarm and you must inform your insurance company who will put the alarm down on your policy as same.
